Need help finding something; mostly bioethics related? I haven’t done proper philosophy in a long time so I might mess up the terms.
I remember reading something a while back about a theory to do with ‘are we obliged to help sick people?’ And it mentioned things like there are 3 conditions that a sick person should meet if they want help. One of them was ‘the sick person must want to get better in the first place’.
Does anyone remember what this is from/the name of the theory or the person behind it?
